The result is an improvement in mood, reduction in feelings of depression, and overall better mental health.

The oral liquid formulation of Bupropion HCl is designed to be easily ingested and is particularly useful for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms. This can include children, the elderly, or individuals with certain medical conditions. The liquid form allows for accurate dosing and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of each patient. It is important to note that the medication should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider, and the dose should not be altered without consultation.
